You see, it's easy to read press releases from Valve and think that Proton just cured all the issues that Linux gaming ever had.

I'm a fan of Linux and love using it, but I'm not above having a Windows dual-boot for the couple of games that don't work.Īnd it's that last point that I think is most relevant to how the challenge has been going for you. You have die-hards like Anthony right there on your staff as complete subject matter experts, but how useful is that to you when you're trying to create the "typical" user experience? I'm just a typical, average guy that does some gaming here and there for fun, some higher end games, some lower end, some older and some newer. Now why would you ever listen to me? Well, I feel like voices like mine are underrepresented in this conversation. as a side note, good luck getting Microsoft to do the same when you find a bug.) I think your challenge, even though it's a "challenge" for the Linux community, is ultimately good for us because the outsider's perspective is critical to user experience development. In fact, because of what happened to you, APT has updated its behavior with critical packages and even gave you credit for it (. You did everything in the way that a typical user would and ended up bricking your system. The disaster that happened to you in part 1 of your challenge is absolutely the fault of Pop!_OS, APT, and Linux in general. So I obviously have no idea if you or someone on your team will have a chance to read this, Linus, but I've been following your challenge with anticipation since the first time you talked about it on the WAN show.Īnd I want to start with the big, obvious stuff. There's probably something like this already, like on the Arch Wiki, but it could probably be made much more accessible.

Solutions would be given like they are on a protondb page.Ī Logitech mouse would be: "Yes, with workarounds", suggesting that the user install the app Piper to configure the mouse.Ī GoXLR would be: "Not really" (or something like that), since most of its parts don't work even after installing goxlr-on-linux.Ī Nvidia GPU released an hour ago would be: "No". Why not have a site where people can plug in their components or laptop model and see what works out of the box, what works with workarounds, and what doesn't work?įor example, a Roccat mouse would be: "Yes", works out of the box.Ī Nvidia Optimus laptop would be: "Yes, with workarounds", with caveats that you need to install system76-power, nvidia-optimus-qt, or something else to make it work. Typically, when people switch to Linux, they learn after the fact that a piece of their hardware doesn't work out of the box.
